ERASERHEADS LYRICS

"Shake Your Head"

I was born, upside down
I felt my grandma put my feet
On the ground
They put a spoon, in my mouth
And everyone was shocked to
Hear me shout
Well I knew I couldn't take all
The dog food that they make
I'd just as soon as put myself
On a stake and burn

[Refrain:]
I saw it comin' around
I saw it comin' around, yeah
I saw it comin' around
So I just, yeah
Shook my head and walked
Away.

I grew up, in a town
Where everybody tried to push
Me around
The girls were alright, but
The guys were tough
They're always buggin' me with
Macho stuff
Well, I ain't no stupid
Fighter, I go for flower
Power
I've been running every race
Just to save my face, yeh

[repeat refrain]

[Bridge:]
Well, they try to see if you
Care

It's just a matter of not
Begging for more
You know it's really suicidal
To just give in
With people you can never
Really be sure?
O-hoh when it gets down to this

They'll eat you up
When the words get in your head
They'll get you up
It's a saving grace to have
Enough
When you find yourself in a
Compromising spot
You should know, you shouldn't
Take
All that dog food that they
Make
You'd just as soon as put
Yourself on a stake and burn
